McGeeney hits out at ‘idiots’

WHEN it was all done, Kieran McGeeney gathered his Kildare players on the pitch for one last stirring oration. It lasted a minute or so before he broke off and departed for the tunnel, swatting tears from his eyes.

A two-point defeat, having witnessed his side slam a shot off the crossbar in the last action of the game, was about as cruel as it gets.

Then, of course, there was ‘that’ goal, Benny Coulter’s 13th minute strike for Down.
